The Witch Hunt Against Trump Is Evolving. As Trump has said this is all orchestrated by Biden and his DOJ. Now they play gymnastics as they are busted on the fact that the DOJ is behind it all, and has confessed as much.
In a recent federal court session, the presiding judge intensely scrutinized the special counsel’s operations regarding their oversight by the Attorney General. During a five-hour hearing, prosecutors were repeatedly asked about their communication with the Attorney General but withheld specifics, which raised eyebrows.

The hearing was part of an attempt by former President Donald Trump to dismiss charges against him. Trump is accused of unlawfully retaining national secrets at his residence after his presidency and hindering government efforts to reclaim them. He claims the special counsel’s appointment in November 2022 was unconstitutional and argues the special counsel had no authority to prosecute him. While previous courts have dismissed similar challenges regarding special counsel appointments, the judge, appointed by Trump in 2020, allowed extensive oral arguments, signaling the seriousness with which she viewed the case.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) generally uses special counsels for cases that might involve conflicts of interest within its leadership. Although they report to the Attorney General, special counsels operate with greater independence compared to other federal prosecutors.
“I’m supporting Judge Cannon, I think she’s been doing a wonderful job so far going methodically, not backing down.”

In court, Trump’s legal team argued that the special counsel’s independence was excessive, claiming that only officials appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate should have such powers. This stance contrasts with Trump’s public assertions that the special counsel is merely a tool of President Joe Biden.
The session included debates over the extent of the Attorney General’s control over the special counsel, following a statement by the Attorney General claiming no coordination with the special counsel on other charges against Trump related to the 2020 election interference.
The special counsel’s team defended their legal standing, emphasizing their adherence to DOJ regulations and dismissing the claims against their appointment as baseless. This was part of a series of intense hearings expected to continue over three days, focusing on various legal challenges raised by Trump against the special counsel, including claims about improper funding.

This probing by the judge into typically overlooked legal nuances has puzzled legal experts and drawn criticism regarding her approach to this high-profile case. Furthermore, the decision to allow outside experts to present arguments during a criminal case, an unusual practice, added to the controversy surrounding the hearings. The judge had previously caused a stir in 2022 by halting the DOJ’s investigation into Trump after the FBI searched his residence, a move that was later overturned by an appellate court.
These Soviet tactics must be met in kind by the Republicans, or America will cease to exist as a free nation sometime in the next few years. The Democrats and their abuse of power must be stopped, and President Trump and many Senators and Congressmen have pledged to do so.
